Sobre el lugar

The historic dockyard shelters the community's accumulated memory, from colonial governance relics to maritime salvage.

A governor's spouse first organized the island collection to preserve local historical items alongside South American natural curiosities. Early exhibits moved between schoolrooms and civic buildings until a catastrophic fire leveled the town hall and destroyed the holdings. Dedicated volunteers rebuilt the inventory from scratch, keeping salvaged pieces safe during military conflict before establishing permanent headquarters.
